Among 401 NCAA athletes in the major division-I university, it has been found out that one third athletes mix alcohol and other caffeine containing energy drinks in their diets. These results were actually shown by a study that was presented at American college of sports medicine’s 57th annual meeting.
In the study the athletes were surveyed of their alcohol and high energy caffeine drink’s consumption and the results showed that about 78.6 percent athletes consumed such drinks in their daily routine. This is really an alarming thing about the consumption of these drinks can be a great risk for their health in future.
For a good many years now it has been found that the red wine helps keep arteries clean. Red wine made from the skins of red grapes is known to benefit the heart and blood vessels to some extent. There are many studies to support the specific beneficial effects of the red wine.A recent study done by the researchers at the ‘Peter Munk Cardiac Centre’ of the ‘Toronto General Hospital’ found that the positive effects of the wine disappeared with the intake of two drinks.
As a part of the protective drive initiated by the researchers in the previous studies, the recent study also advocates the moderate or light consumption of wine and other alcoholic drinks. The researchers tried to determine the differences between the effects of wine and the alcohol on the blood pressure, arteries and the heart. Thirteen volunteers participated in this real time study.
